Denim Size & Fit Guide
Find your fit in CHILLI reworked denim. Each piece is individually reworked from vintage denim, so measurements are approximate and may vary from piece to piece. Use the chart for your chosen style rather than relying on the labelled size alone.
All measurements below are in centimetres and are garment measurements, not body measurements. Waist and hip measurements are full circumferences, not flat widths.
How to compare your fit
Choose a pair of non-stretch denim jeans or shorts that fit you well. Fasten the buttons and lay them flat without stretching.
- Waist: Measure across the waistband and double the flat width.
- Hip: Measure across the widest part of the hips and double the flat width.
- Front and back rise: Measure from the crotch seam to the top of the respective waistband.
- Inseam: Measure along the inside leg from the crotch seam to the hem.
- Side length: Measure from the top of the waistband down the outside of the leg to the longest point.
Compare these measurements with the relevant chart and allow room through both the waist and hips for your preferred fit.
Crossover Shorts & Texas Jort
This chart applies to Crossover Shorts, Crossover Short - Black, and Texas Jort - Blue and Black.
Crossover Shorts: Relaxed, baggy shorts with a crossover button front. Model is a size 26 and wears 26. For a more relaxed, lower-rise fit, size up one from your measured waist or hip.
